I loved Vancouver

Vancouver has a far more relaxed atmosphere compared to the stress of Toronto. I had a wonderful 10 days in the city. It would not take much motivation for me to visit Vancouver again. The city is noticeably more relaxed than Toronto. I stayed at a relative of mine in the subarb or Richmond. I really enjoyed walking around Richmond. Even if I did nothing specific, it was really a relaxes atmosphere.

I have met numerous Toronto people who visited Vancouver. They all said that they loved Vancouver. Toronto, however, is easier for finding a job. If it was not for that, they would move to Vancouver tomorrow.

Pros and Cons
